Bali Huts

We make all types of Bali Huts in Square, Rectangular, and Traditional Splayed Rafter. We use only Grade “A” Alang Alang thatch imported from Bali, and the best Australian Treated Pine timber. Decking and railings optional features quoted separately.

Square and Rectangular Bali Huts are ideal options for small areas, beside pools and provide good spa shelters.

Traditional Bali Huts come with square posts, and can be in a square or rectangular shape.

Gazebo Style makes these huts with a structural eave, (where rafters continue 300mm out from the beam and are finished off with a support batten), conforming to Australian Standards and presenting an attractive finish to the rafters themselves.

As with all Gazebo Style Bali Huts, thatch spacings are standard 80mm apart, together with a 40° roof pitch, ensures complete waterproofing.

Colorbond Huts

The ever popular Colorbond roofing sheets give an “Australian” feel to their structure. Backyard shelter or carport, we can make them in square, rectangular or hexagonal shape. Just let us know your preference!

All Colorbond Gazebos are made with a structural eave, where each rafter extends 300mm out past the beam, strengthening the roof sheets against lifting in heavy wind, and conforming to Australian Standards.

Optional extras include guttering and fascia boards.

Colorbond Gazebos can be made with a raised “koda”roof to let out out heat or to function as a skylight.

Colorbond roofing sheets are offered in a large range of 20 natural colours, reflecting the Australian landscape with hues in white, grey, green, blue and red.
